DescriptionMorrison is well known as a classic Font Range bouldering area. A outdoor climbing gym with two distinctive atmospheres. On the Northern side of the road, it's rare to boulder by yourself, whereas the southern side I've yet to met anyone there. Getting ThereFrom Boulder, take CO Hwy 93 to Golden, US 6 to C-470 heading South, and get off 5-10 minutes later at Morrison. Take a right after exiting. One can also take a right just past Golden on Heritage Rd, which becomes a highway that goes by Red Rocks and spits you out into Morrison on the west side. Continue up CO Hwy 74 (Bear Creek Road) to Evergreen. Watch out for cyclists! ResourcesThis town is famous for its Margaritas and its Mexican food, and the one place to get them is the Morrison Inn. There is also a great Italian restaurant in town. CampingPer Derek Lawrence: the closest camping is at Bear Creek Lake Park - www.lakewood.org/bclp/.

Start on the far right side of "The Wisdom Wall" above the lower start of "Undercover Brother." Climb the corner/arete on a nice rail system then get a heel hook right and crank up into a nice horizontal crack/seam system (CRUX) that leads to a scary insecure scoop. Rest up in the scoop and then gather your brain cells and move with care the top of the formation. Walk off right and climb back down a small gully to get back to your gear.This has been a HIGHLY OVER LOOKED LINE on "The Wisdom Wa...[more] Browse More Classics in CO
